An Unusual Presentation of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome.

Abstract

Epilepsy is one of the most common reasons for patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). However, epilepsy events have a variety of causes, which we tend to ignore. The leading cause is renal artery dissection with renal infarction. The case reported herein is of a patient without a medical history of epilepsy who presented to the ED with sudden epileptic seizures caused by malignant hypertension.
